Yep just give the community a good base and let them self organize. Maybe throw in a sponsorship here or there. But don’t make that shit yourself.

The problem with self-organizing is you get things like the Smash community, where the worst people imaginable take over the competitive level and then you’ve got a huge reputational problem on your hands. It’s a delicate balance between supporting what the community develops on its own and going top-down and forcing it.
